Solution Overview

Problem

Existing parking assistance systems face challenges in accurately searching and setting parking routes, leading to potential collisions and incomplete parking situations due to incorrect parking space identification while the vehicle is moving.

Innovation Solution

A parking control apparatus and method that includes an initial parking space setting unit, a vehicle control unit, a parking space correction unit, and a final parking route calculation unit, which corrects the initial parking space based on obstacle information acquired during movement and adjusts the vehicle's position to calculate a final parking route, preventing collisions and ensuring accurate parking.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the parking assistance system searches for a parking space while the vehicle is moving, then the system can identify parking spaces dynamically, but the parking space search accuracy deteriorates leading to collisions or incomplete parking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedynamic parking space search capabilityVSAvoidparking space search accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary parking space search while the vehicle is moving to identify potential parking spaces, then executes a correction action after the vehicle stops to refine the parking space identification and eliminate errors caused by vehicle movement during the initial search

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback from the vehicle's movement state and sensor data to detect parking space search errors, then applies corrective actions to adjust the parking route and ensure accurate parking execution

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If the vehicle moves along the first parking route based on initial parking space information, then the vehicle can proceed toward the parking space, but collision risk increases due to incorrect parking space identification

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparking execution speedVSAvoidcollision avoidance reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system executes the parking maneuver at normal speed based on preliminary parking space information, then performs a correction action after the vehicle stops to eliminate any identification errors and prevent collisions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system prepares a correction mechanism that activates after the vehicle stops to compensate for any parking space identification errors that occurred during the moving search phase

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

AI summary

The present invention relates to a parking control apparatus and a parking control method. In particular, the present invention relates to a parking control apparatus and a parking control method in which an initial parking space searched while a vehicle is moved is corrected into a final parking space in a space recognition correction section based on a situation at the time of searching by the vehicle and information for an obstacle which is acquired while the vehicle moves along a first parking route, the position of the vehicle is changed, and then a final parking route is calculated.
